"I bought 5 of these to install on some custom roof bars for my 2004 Xterra. They were extremely easy to install, and look great. They're super-bright, and the spread of light through the lens is perfect for an accessory driving light. I did not use the supplied connector, instead I cut the connector off and hardwired the lights into their own circuit (3 on the front of the roof, and 2 on the back).
The only problem I ran into was in the wiring. I'm used to wiring lights on much older vehicles, so I tried wiring the positive wires (with inline fuse and toggle switch) straight to the battery, and the negative wires to a body ground (always worked in the past). This wiring method WILL NOT WORK with these lights, you need to connect both the positive AND negative connections directly to the battery.
Other than the wiring issue, which was resolved in about an hour, these lights have surpassed what I expected from them. They preform flawlessly, and look sharp! I get a lot of looks from people on the road, and with an added 300 watts of lighting up front, and another 200 watts out back I can really see where I'm going off road.
I highly recommend these lights!"posted by: XterraK on May 31, 2010
